> **OpenLM Version 25 / v26 (legacy).** This page documents the legacy product, not OpenLM Platform.

OpenLM can monitor the usage of Green Hills licenses.  
There are two options for querying the license server:

- **Quick method**: OpenLM Server queries the license server remotely.  
- **Robust method**: OpenLM Broker queries the server locally and sends the data to OpenLM Server. This method adds robustness against communication failure, bypasses networking and security limitations, and may activate log file parsing in the future.  

## Monitor Green Hills with OpenLM Server only

### Configure OpenLM Server

1. Install **OpenLM Server**.  
2. Open **EasyAdmin** → **Start → Administration → License Manager Servers**.  
3. Click **Add LM**.  
4. Enter a descriptive **Display name**.  
5. From **Type**, select **Green Hills**.  
6. Toggle settings:  
   - **Use Broker** = *Off*  
   - **Enable Triad Configuration** = *Off*  
7. Enter the license server details (**Hostname/IP**, **Port**, **Time zone**).  
   - Example: `GH_license_server`, `2009`, `Pacific Time`.  
   - To find the server name and port, run this command as administrator on the Green Hills server:  

     ```bash
     <full path>\lic_find_licenses.exe -w -l <host name>
     ```
8. Click **Save**.  
9. In **LM Tools**, select **Green Hills** from the drop-down and enter the full path to the Green Hills executable.  

10. Click **Save** again.  

### Verify server activity

- In the **LM Servers** screen, click **Test**.  
- A successful text response confirms an active connection to the Green Hills license server.  

## Monitor Green Hills with OpenLM Server + Broker

Using the Broker is optional but recommended. It adds buffering, stability, and network/security flexibility.  

### Install Broker

- [Download](https://www.openlm.com/downloads/) and install the latest OpenLM Broker.  

### Configure OpenLM Server

- Same steps as the direct method, but set **Use Broker** = *On*.  

### Configure Broker

1. Access your **OpenLM Broker** instance.  
2. Click **Add Port**.  
3. Enter the license server **Port** (for example, `2009`).  
4. Enter the **OpenLM Server hostname** and **Port** (default: `5015`).  
5. Set the vendor name to **GHS**.  
6. Verify the full paths for the `status` and `data_inquiry` commands.  
7. Click **Execute** to confirm functionality.  

## Alternative: Configure Broker with Web UI

1. Open a browser → go to [http://localhost:5090/](http://localhost:5090/).  
2. Navigate to **License Managers → Add License Manager**.  
3. Select **Green Hills** from the drop-down and enter any port (for example, `888`). Click **Add**.  
4. Go to **Vendors → Add Vendor** → enter *Green Hills*. Click **Confirm**.  
5. Go to **Log Files → Add Log File**.  
   - Browse or enter the path manually.  
   - Assign it to the **Green Hills** vendor.  
6. Click **Save**.  

## Verify configuration

1. Open **EasyAdmin** in a browser.  
2. Go to **Start → Widgets → License Servers**.  
3. Approve the pending Green Hills license manager.  
4. A **green circle** indicates an active connection.
